The founding fathers were not as benevolent as one hopes they were. During the American Revolution, the upper-classes needed muscle which was available by the poor, southern "small farmers" who believed that "all men are created equal" which was their new nation's foundation -- they thought -- as it is clearly stated in "The Declaration of Independence". What was left ambiguous was that "all men" implied all White, property and slave owners", as Noam Chomsky points out:

" ... The founding fathers repeated the sentiments of the British "men of best quality" in almost the same words. As one put it "When I mention the public, I mean to include only the rational part of it. The ignorant and vulgar are as unfit to judge of the modes [of government], as they are unable to manage [its] reins." The people are a "great beast" that must be tamed, his colleague Alexander Hamilton declared. Rebellious and independent farmers had to be taught, sometimes by force, that the ideals of the revolutionary pamphlets were not to be taken too seriously. The common people were not to be represented by countrymen like themselves, who know the people's sores, but by gentry, merchants, lawyers, and other "responsible men" who could be trusted to defend privilege."

But Jefferson, who had spent time in France and was influenced by the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who said: "No man has any natural authority over his fellow men," was more apt to push for the Bill of Rights for the the minority... but the "minority" to which Rousseau referred was the small farmer who had nothing but faith in the new, enlightened social contract. What Hamilton and the Federalists did was to use the Bill of Rights as a shield to protect the rights of the "minority of the opulent"... the 1%. As the late Gore Vidal revealed, "I'm from the upper-class... they despise the masses"... or as Hamilton put it: the "great beast".

You mentioned Goebbels, well Minister Joe G. had an impressive library full of books on manipulation of the masses, but a visitor noticed that out of the hundreds of titles in his study, Goebbels was fixated strictly on one book: "Propaganda" by Edward Bernays. Bernays, an American from German/Jewish beginnings, was the nephew of Sigmund Freud, who took his uncles' understanding of the individual psyche and applied it to the masses. Ironically, his book, "Propaganda" (it is suggested) is responsible, directly or indirectly, for the mass murder and Genocide of European Jews, some of whom where his friends and relatives residing in Central and Eastern Europe, in addition to the USSR.

Another film by Orson Welles which I suggest is "The Third Man"... AND... I also recommend Bernardo Bertolucci's, "Novecento" (1900)", with Burt Lancaster, Sterling Hayden, Gerard Depardieu, Robert De Niro, Donald Sutherland... and beautifully photographed by Vittorio Storaro ("Apocalypse Now", and the new film on the Prophet Muhammad directed by renowned Iranian filmmaker, Majid Majidi). Another Bertolucci classic on fascism, once again with Storaro as director of photography (D.P.), is the amazing 1970 film, "The Conformist", with Jean-Louis Trintignant ("A Man and a Woman"; "Z" [Zed]).

The Social Democracies of Soviet-era Europe and the "free" and "opulent" American "dream" was nothing more than a tease to lure individuals and the masses away from socialism and toward capitalist free enterprise. Once the Soviets crashed, the truth revealed its cold face and thus began deregulation enabling corporate theft and the dismantling of social democracy... What alternative is left since the Soviet Union -- as corrupt and repressive as it was -- crashed in the '90s? None. And now Fascism, or "corporatism", as El Duce correctly named it, is the only god... like the bronze age monotheistic god of Jews, Christians and Muslims, only now it's arrived with a makeover. As the late George Carlin said:

"When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts . . . Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won it. Believe me, my friend."
